Just with the comments about employment Law and the issue of making players train with the U-18s and U-21s, an interesting Case Law from Leeds United and the resignation of the Assistant Manager (Nigel Gibbs) resulting in him being awarded £331,000 for a repudiatory breach of contract. Basically, he was assistant manager and following Brian McDermotts sacking, he was isolated and then made to train U-18s and 21s. An obvious demotion against his Contract of Cmployment. The full jurisdiction does give an interesting insight in football contracts and workings though (if Leeds can be called a club as such
)
